The command-line switches available for the "mail" command you are using
above can be found by typing "man mail". This shows the "man"ual pages.
Unfortunately its not a great command line client; try "mutt" instead if
its installed, then you can do "..... mutt -a filetoattach -s "message
Subject......".

To install any program depends on the distribution of Linux you are
running. Most likely avenues of investigation for you are for Redhat
"yum search mutt" to see if its available then "yum install mutt". For
debian-based distros "apt-get" is the most likely tool I think but I
don't know the arguments since that's not my area of expertise.

I would strongly suggest that since you don't know how to do this or you
don't have an admin who does that you go to the website you got your
distro from and start reading the documentation ;-)

Why don't you use Google mail to send out your information? You can use an
internal Linux email application, that would send the email through GMail.
That should eliminate all your problems that you are having now.

You may also have a break in the OUTPUT assignment line?
It appears OUTPUT is set to "admin/out/DEV_ctoradb4/XXABC_4367855_1.PDF"
and not "/d02/oracle/devcomn/admin/out/DEV_ctoradb4/XXABC_43 67855_1.PDF"
as you probably intended?
